Authors Grabner CP, Jansen I, Neef J, Weihs T, Schmidt R, Riedel D, Wurm CA, Moser T Journal Science Advances Citation Sci Adv. 2022 Jul 15;8(28):eabl7560. Abstract Cells assemble macromolecular complexes into scaffoldings that serve as substrates for catalytic processes. Years of molecular neurobiology indicate that neurotransmission depends on such

Authors Garrido-Charles A, Huet AT, Matera C, Thirumalai A, Hernando J, Llebaria A, Moser T, Gorostiza P Journal Journal of the American Chemical Society Citation J Am Chem Soc. 2022 May 18. Abstract Artificial control of neuronal activity enables studies of neural circuits and restoration of neural function. Direct, rapid,

Authors Bali B, Gruber-Dujardin E, Kusch K, Rankovic V, Moser T Journal Life Science Alliance Citation Life Sci Alliance. 2022 May 5;5(8):e202101338 Abstract AAV-mediated optogenetic neural stimulation has become a clinical approach for restoring function in sensory disorders and feasibility for hearing restoration has been indicated in rodents. Nonetheless, long-term

Authors Calapai A, Cabrera-Moreno J, Moser T, Jeschke M Journal Nature Communications Citation Nat Commun. 2022 Mar 28;13(1):1648. Abstract Devising new and more efficient protocols to analyze the phenotypes of non-human primates, as well as their complex nervous systems, is rapidly becoming of paramount importance. This is because with genome-editing

Authors Grabner CP, Moser T Journal Elife Citation Elife. 2021 Oct 7;10:e63844. Abstract Rod photoreceptors (PRs) use ribbon synapses to transmit visual information. To signal ‘no light detected’ they release glutamate continually to activate post-synaptic receptors. When light is detected glutamate release pauses. How a rod’s individual ribbon enables this

Neurosci. 2021, 41 (37) 7742-7767 Abstract Rab-interacting molecule (RIM)-binding protein 2 (BP2) is a multidomain protein of the presynaptic active zone (AZ). By binding to RIM, bassoon

Authors Oestreicher D, Picher MM, Rankovic V, Moser T, Pangrsic T Journal Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience Citation Front. Mol. Neurosci. 2021, 14:689415. Abstract Clinical management of auditory synaptopathies like other genetic hearing disorders is currently limited to the use of hearing aids or cochlear implants. However, future gene therapy promises restoration of
